Vince Gets Back Into the Holiday Spirit

PopSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:05:00 -0800

Vince Vaughn took his Fred Claus for a sleigh ride overseas to London last night. Guy Ritchie, Rocco and Lourdes came out to catch the new film, but Madonna sat this one out. Vince doesn't have any kids of his own, but he's been getting lots of experience with them thanks to his nieces and nephew. Beyond giving him an appreciation for Supernanny, they help get him into the Christmas spirit. He told InTouch:

On Christmases in the Vaughn household::
"They were all good. The only thing is that when you were younger, you'd get toys, but then you'd get to a certain age and all you'd get were clothes. I'd be like, 'This isn't fun, I don't want socks!' Then I'd feel the next gift and it would be jeans. I was painfully skinny then, so clothes were just a reminder of how awkward I was. But now that I have a nephew and nieces, the fun is back in it."
On what his nieces and nephew think of his new movie:
"My nephew saw the Fred Claus poster and goes 'Uncle Vince! That's you and Santa Claus!' He was upset, thinking, 'How come he hasn't introduced me? Doesn't he know I'd like to meet Santa?'"

Aww - we love hearing more about the sweeter side of Vince. Even though he plays his usual wisecracking self in the film, we bet he used his experience as an uncle to win over lots of parents and kids.

Vince Can't Resist the Deep Dish

Vince Vaughn looked typically semi-disheveled bringing his new movie Fred Claus to his hometown of Chicago over the weekend. Though the movie must take place in the North Pole (heh, naturally), much of it was filmed in Vince's home city and at last night's screening he talked about bringing a new cast there to film. Here's more:

"The city's great. The people are great. Everyone I bring here loves working here....I love the fact that Giamatti wore the fat suit and that was fine. I'm a native of Illinois, so I knew I would eat a lot while I was here. I was more authentic than he was when it came to the weight. He had to wear that suit to look convincingly fat. I just needed some deep-dish pizza and some steaks to get into character."

Mmmmm, pizza. These days it looks like Vince has slimmed down since he was at Claus weight and is maybe, just maybe getting back a little bit of that appeal? Fred Claus may not have me running for the ticket counter (especially since the previews just have me annoyed that he's reusing the "let's make some bad decisions" line from Wedding Crashers), but I'll always have a soft spot for scruffy Vince.

Fred Claus Brings Out Snow and Stars

PopSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 08:30:00 -0800

Christmas came early in LA this weekend for the premiere of Fred Claus. Vince Vaughn, Elizabeth Banks and a blonde Robert Downey Jr. put on their Christmas colors to walk the snow covered red carpet. Ludacris brought his daughter to the family friendly film while Hollywood hotties Bradley Cooper and Scott Speedman came solo. We're excited to see Vince on the big screen just in time for the holidays, and he recently spoke about some of his Christmas memories. Here's more:

Do you remember when your belief in Santa was first shaken?
I remember the day I had neighbors that let me know – I was 6 years old – that there was no Santa Claus. They go, 'You know there's not a Santa Claus, right?' – and, of course, covering in front of them I was like, 'Well, yeah. Of course there's not a Santa Claus, guys.' Then I went to my sisters, and they said, 'Okay, now you know the painful truth, there is not a Santa Claus.' I was the youngest. They said, 'Don't tell mom and dad, because then we may not get gifts anymore. You got to keep pretending that you think there is Santa Claus, or you are not going to get any gifts.' I was like 16 going, 'Dad, when is Santa coming down the chimney?' My dad was like, 'Look it's getting weird, you are getting older, you know there's not a Santa, right?' "

Apparently Vince was a successful actor at a young age if his dad really thought he believed in Santa until he was 16. Lots and lots more pics including Andy Garcia, Seth Green, Jon Favreau, Kevin Sorbo, Justin Long and more so read more
